Do you have to use the Canvas for this? The native image component is capable of animated GIF support right out of the box.

Is there not a way to add a .json animation to a canvas?
Hello @overshield! Welcome to the community!! 
to use the .json animations, drag and drop an ‘animation’ component into your screen or component tree in the design editor.
you see the highlighted item in the tree. the pigeon is the .json animation
Hi, ya I’ve added jsons to screens via animations, but I’m wanting an animation to actually be on a canvas or stage, is this possible?
Thanks again
will the animation be in a fixed position? will you be moving it?
No it would be fixed on the stage or canvas, just animating in place when called
do some searching for the DIY workaround for a Fixed Action Button. You can do the same for your animation if nothing else works.
i think you could use the animation component. Set z-index to 1. 
Set the position to absolute. 
set visibility as false.
and only set as true when certain conditions are met within the app.
You have a Z index option for an animation component?
I’m able to do it if I put it in a column first, then adjust the columns, then I have to change the margins & padding? But I still don’t actually see in the live test.
Can you create a project of your example?
Sure thing! @overshield Thunkable
it should load on the first screen. push the button to make the animation appear. keep in mind, you can replace a button press with other in-app actions
Mine isn’t showing me anything when I preview it
Sorry about that, I shared the project page. not the share link.
Here you go: Thunkable
